From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!


Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1999 but released in 2000, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

I’m glad someone else recognizes there was an album before The Colour and the Shape!

I was shopping at a Hastings a couple of years before they went bankrupt for used CDs. They used to do a deal where if you bought two used CDs, you'd get the third for a penny. So I'd go in with 20 bucks and walk out with like six albums.

I just happened upon this Foo Fighters CD I didn't recognize with a funny looking gun on it and saw it had Big Me on it. I knew Big Me from having seen it on VH1 or Fuse several years prior, but I wasn't familiar with this one and it was like four or five bucks so I picked it up.

Whole thing is great. Floaty and Good Grief are my favorites from this one. I'm an indie head so I really dig the more lo-fi aesthetic of it.

Partial to For the Cows and X-Static myself. The more lo-fi feel is probably largely in part to Dave Grohl recording the whole thing himself (with a producer) like 6 months after Cobain's death.
